Union City police shot and killed a wanted parolee who was armed with a pipe, the third fatal officer-involved shooting in the city this year, authorities said Tuesday.

The suspect, whose name was not immediately released, died at a hospital after being shot at a home on the 4200 block of Saturn Way about 8:30 p.m. Monday.

The incident began when officers were called to investigate a disturbance in the neighborhood.

They arrived and learned that one of the people at the home was a parolee who had a warrant for resisting arrest, Union City police officials said. The man was allegedly armed with a pipe and did not comply with officers' orders.

An officer shot the man when he threatened police with the pipe, police officials said. He died at a hospital.

The shooting is under investigation by the Police Department and the Alameda County district attorney's office.

It is the second fatal officer-involved shooting in Union City in less than two months and the third this year.

On Aug. 31, police shot and killed Vergel Ricafrente Worrell, 46, after he randomly fired shots near his home in the area of Medallion Drive and Kenita Way.

On March 2, police shot and killed Amos G. Smith, 26, of Union City after he allegedly pulled out a handgun from his waistband after he fled from a car stop on Dyer Street near Meteor Way.
